I just ain't been able to write no songs I guess I have been gone for too long I hate to but I got to get back to getting' stoned But I just ain't been able to write no songs I just ain't been able to sing no blues Lords knows I sure oughta know just how to Cause everybody's gone now, Lord, 'cept me and you But I just ain't been able to sing no blues I just ain't been able to keep no wife But you know I tried hard a couple of times They always said "Is it gonna be your music or me?" And I just ain't been able to agree I just ain't never made no superstar But I'll keep on playin' this white guitar I don't know how long or how far But I sure love to play these honky tonk bars I hate to but I got to get back to getting' stoned And I just ain't been able to write no songs
